It can be slow on very large sections, indeed. Though, you could use a profiler (M-x profiler-start) to check if something is suspicious. Note that Org 8.3+ makes it a lot better with a cache mechanism, but it is still buggy at the moment. > I have tried (setq fill-paragraph-function nil) in an effort to use emacs' > default fill function instead of org mode's, but that did not fix the > problem. You could set it locally, in a hook (e.g., `org-mode-hook'). Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
